How Long Do Fireflies Live
Some people will give you a flat out answer of 24 hours a firefly lives. Adult fireflies really live only long enough to mate and lay eggs. Adult fireflies P.pyralis generally expire in 7-14 days. People have feed them a solution of honey and water or sugar and water to see if it has extended their life. It is said that if fireflies were able to find nectar they may live a few days longer.
